States Attorney Alfred recently |
made another visit to this town, and |
those unfortunate enough to be in |
the liquor business were quite heay-
ily mllcted. From the reports in |
the papers 1t might seem that West
field Is notorious for liquor selling
and drinking. We think this not
so. Your correspondent has been a
resident Of Westfeld for nearly Is
wears. and in that time there has not |
been. to his knowledge, a place in
town where liquor has been sold for
any length OF time, and but little
drQkenness Is noticed. We believe
the town viii compare favorablely
with other towns in the county as
regards temperance principles, NOR
alilv. religious societies, etc. While
We would not favor intemperancle
in the least, it would seem to Us
that Westfeld has been levied upon
for is share Of state taxes, nearly or
quite $500 having taken out Of our
town in fines and costs.
